Google Sites reserves several site management functions to users with 'Owner' permissions. Team collaboration sites have been setup so that these owner tasks are rarely necessary during regular site operations.

Deleted Sites are placed into a special 'trashcan' area for 30 days. Access them by visiting sites.google.com and selecting 'Deleted Sites' in the sidebar. During this time Deleted Sites can be restored or permanently deleted.
Of course when creating a site, you are automatically the 'owner'.
Web Address MappingOnce the web address mapping for a site have been configured, it's unlikely it will need changing (unless the site is moving, or being repurposed).
Learn more about Web Address Mapping on the Advanced Skills / Domain Names / Connect Domain page. Also Editor TasksSince an 'owner' is the highest permission level, a site owner can also perform all Editor Tasks. |
